Clay Terrace

Clay Terrace is my go-to mall. At times, it has struggled to gain and retain tenants, but I think it has a phenomenal line up of popular brands - many of which have locations at the nearby Fashion Mall but decided there was value to open a Carmel location.A few personal favorites: Athletic Annex, Bath and Body Works, Dry Goods, Dick's Sporting Goods, DSW, lululemon, Old Navy and Warby Parker. Not to mention, the dining options like Cafe Patachou, Upland Brewing, and more!Clay Terrace always has great events and programming, too - from summer concerts to trick-or-treating and visits with Santa.My only complaint is parking. There is limited - and highly coveted - parking in front of the stores, and most often you'll need to park in the larger lots in the back. On a busy weekend or during the holidays, it can get especially busy.

Very much enjoy this open air mall!Parking can be limited especially on the weekend so you may need to park a little further out from the store you're wishing to visit. Great food options and shopping options! I also like that there is a Whole Foods here! It's a one stop shop

How do you review a mall? I mean, they try to something for everyone thus can't please everyone. Each store should be reviewed. You can search for the stores to see if they have what you like. They seem to have a good mix of clothing stores, general merchandise stores and restaurants. I like that the mall has general, public use umbrellas should a summer pop up shower occur. It's well lit with flashing lights at the cross walks with raised tarmac to slow drivers down who speed through the center of the mall. There is mix use building here too housing corporate offices. They have a lot of green spaces, a play area for children, a park to take your Jimmy John's for a picnic and a dog park. The mall has plenty of parking spaces, even with the holiday rush, and a J1772 electric pay for charging station near Whole Foods. As for stores I frequent here: I'm a sucker for the Lululemon "pop up" store that has been open for close to two years and rumored to be moving permanently across the street. I also patronize Sur la Table for all my kitchen needs. I frequent Whole Foods as well. When my son was younger, I was always in Dick's buying something for sports or camping.

I think I prefer outdoor malls to indoor ones by far. This mall is laid out well and of course has free parking since it's in Carmel. The murals on the walls were pretty cool too. I wasn't familiar with some of the stores but they were pretty cool. We only stopped in a few stores since we were looking for very specific items, but I'd definitely go back just to browse and shop.

Clay Terrace is my favorite upscale shopping center in the local area. The mall has been opened for over ten years but still feels new every time I stop by. This is not a covered mall but an outdoor mall. The grounds and storefronts are always pristine win a parklike setting. The stores are mostly higher end. The restaurants are the best and there is even a grocery and pet store in the mall. Then there is an assortment of clothing, shoe and home decor stores. In the summer, the gardens and common areas are filled with flowers and there is nice decor for the holidays. The mall also hosts interesting events outside at various times. For example they host the Indie arts and Vintage Market a couple times a year outdoors on the green space east of the mall. There is a nice little playground for kids near the east center of the mall with benches for parents to relax. In addition, there are game areas for older kids near the center of the mall and a nice area with tables for people to gather. There is a very unique community feel to the mall. I knock off a star because of traffic flow and parking. Traffic flows in front of the shops and behind the shops and moves to quickly when combined with pedestrian traffic. There is a problem with people using the mall as a cut off between 146 and roads south of the mall creating unnecessary traffic through the mall. The mall developers, Simon, have done a good job of installing pedestrian bumps to reduce traffic speed but that still does not solve the issue. I like to go at off times such as early weekday mornings when I can avoid traffic and get great parking. The mall is accessible with lots of ramps and parking. There are a lot of nice bike racks throughout the mall and a shared bike service.

From my middle school hangout spot to my one-stop shopping spot, this mall has changed with my needs. Shops: Between the regular coupons and deals at DSW, The Loft an American Eagle, I can find about anything I need for a decent price. There are constant sales. New favorite store: Alter'd State. It's hippie-chic clothes, home decorations, jewelry & more. All of my favorite things are from here and it's also a great spot to find gifts for any woman, but it is pricey and not one of the spots where you'll find coupons (although there is a sale room). Food: Corner Bakery, Prodigy Burger (hot new biz), Mitchell's Fish Market, Petit Chou (Patachou's sister biz), Starbucks & more. My favorite time to visit this mall is around the holidays. There's decorations, festive music, a "Santa house" and fun vibes. There's also concerts during the summer and a piano on the sidewalk that begs anyone to play it.

Favorite mall in Indy! Great assortment of restaurants, stores, and people watching. I enjoy the outdoor atmosphere and it allows me to park near the store I want to go in instead of having to walk through the whole mall. There is ample parking, and if you're lucky you can get a coveted spot on the front side. Otherwise there is always lots of parking in the back. The new sidewalks and cross walks are great for pedestrians, which I greatly appreciate. They have great events for families during the year and seem to offer good customer service. They even have umbrellas for when it is raining! Easy to navigate, good options, all around a great outdoor mall!

There aren't a plethora of stores, but this is a great medium sized outdoor mall to walk around. There are a few restaurants and a Whole Foods that you can enjoy as well! I went on a Friday night and the stores were not crowded - so felt safe enough for Covid times. There are big parking lots behind some store areas. They have some holiday lights up as well to get you in the spirit of things! My favorite store was Sur La Table....I'm sure I'll be back!

I love that Clay Terrace is close by. They have a lot of events and really make it a family friendly place. I also love I can get to Bath and Bodywork and now Yankee Candle without going to Castleton. Parking doesn't seem to be much of an issue with spaces in front of the stores and also ample parking in the back. It really is walk-able and in nice weather I love spending time there with my friends. In the summers they have free movies in the park and also free concerts. I love going and spending time there enjoying these events. I also learned that the Carmel Community Playhouse is there and they have weekend shows and prices aren't bad at all. I can't wait to catch a show. Like I said I love the stores I want to go to are all right there. BBW, Clarks, Charming Charlie, Pier One, and Sur La Table! They also have a ton of eating options from fast food to sit down, and even family friendly.

They have an amazon locker! It's located behind old navy and there's a handy dandy sign saying go here ! Very awesome they installed this and it's in a good location that's safe and easily accessible .
